I hate talking to machines. Sometimes it’s the best option (I love using a voice assistant in the kitchen), but almost always I’d have a full keyboard as an interface instead.
If machines were amazing at Speech-to-Text, okay, sure. But while the capabilities are impressive, they still kinda suck at it.

I don't see how text to code would be faster than typing. And even if it is, typing speed is not really a limiting factor in the speed at which I can produce code.

Surprisingly, it got pretty close with the German band Schandmaul (something Alexa recognizes 100% of the time as Sean Paul), transcribing to "Schandmauel or Schandmöhrl". But yeah, that is pretty close to amazing. I kinda forgot about it after seeing that the Rhasspy community experimented with it, and it had issues with short utterances and a slow startup time.
